To live through an entire lifetime not knowing why, how and what next? What are we supposed to be doing here? Is there any hidden higher meaning to our lives or are we just random coincidences? How do i find 'MYSELF'? Where will i find my answers?

All I have to say is seize the moment... Isn't the most important thing to you, the thing your doing at this moment?

I believe our purpose is participating-all just contributing toward the creation of tomorrow-we all have a higher meaning to life than what we begin with in this walk of life and it is up to us to try and discover our purpose.
Some discover it in one life time, some it takes another or more and some probably never discover it, but I believe I found mine and if I can then believe we all can. I always felt the purpose but never knew what it was-funny thing is I never really went looking for my purpose but more answers to my life and as I discovered one the other was revealed.
Since somebody said 'There is no such thing as coincidence' it has become apparent to me that there is a lot of truth held within those words
I did a lot of soul searching to find the answers I was seeking, so maybe that's where you need to begin-inside of you
God Bless You

The frustration's origin lies in looking somewhere outside of yourself for what defines you... for your "purpose". Instead of asking yourself "why am I here?" try asking yourself why you WANT to be here. What do you WANT your purpose to be? When you have that answer you'll have your real purpose. And don't be surprised if that purpose changes as you grow older... after all you don't stay the same, why should your purpose?
As to how to get "there" from "here" you first have to define "there" and "here". Once you define them you'll have the answer as to how to get "there". But there is no ULTIMATE "there". As soon as you get "there" then "there" becomes "here" and your looking at a new "there" to get to.

Hi, There are 2 really good book out there, one, of course, is the Bible and the other one is "The Purpose Driven Life", by Rick Warren. I hope these will be helpful to you.

Man is born.He grows up,lives ,reproduces and dies.This is the way things ARE.We are just here to live.A mere spec of dust in this vast universe...SURVIVAL...one generation after another....
Just concentrate on one thing....Try to become famous in one way or another...so that stories about u would be passed down to future generations..
The body dies...but the memories will live on

You know yourself. I read your other question...believe me you know yourself. You are wonderful. There are numerous people who walk through life never questioning what they can do for anyone else, only what you can get for themselves.

Just pay attention to your "now", enjoy it. Don't worry about what's next, don't worry about anything. Ask God to guide you.

not for me, I know why I'm here and what there is beyond this life, I know what I am striving for.
